          RESUMEN

          Fundamentos:

          La calidad en la humanización de la asistencia sanitaria implica el cuidado integral de los pacientes, considerando todas las facetas de la persona, incluida también su dimensión espiritual y religiosa. El objetivo de este estudio fue conocer la visión de los profesionales respecto al cuidado de esta dimensión en los pacientes atendidos en un hospital comarcal.

          Métodos:

          Se realizó un estudio descriptivo transversal, mediante una encuesta ad-hoc a profesionales sanitarios con 30 cuestiones (según escala de Likert, de 0=totalmente en desacuerdo a 4=totalmente de acuerdo), realizada en abril de 2017. El tamaño muestral necesario fue de 238. Se analizó con SPSS v19.0, se describieron la frecuencia absoluta y el porcentaje de acuerdos con cada cuestión, y se usó Chi-Cuadrado para valorar la asociación de las respuestas con el sexo y la categoría profesional, y ANOVA para la edad.

          Resultados:

          Se reclutaron 302 participantes. El 95,5% de mujeres destacó la importancia de crear un ambiente para que el paciente exprese su dimensión espiritual y/o religiosa, frente al 87,6% de hombres. A mayor edad, los profesionales diferenciaron mejor los conceptos de espiritualidad y religiosidad, y coincidieron en que ambas dimensiones afectaban al enfermo (diferencias entre 5-8 años de edad media). Los médicos estuvieron más de acuerdo con la importancia de la espiritualidad, seguidos de los enfermeros y los auxiliares, con diferencias significativas en 17 cuestiones.

          Conclusiones:

          Los profesionales reconocen la importancia de cuidar la dimensión espiritual y/o religiosa, con algunas diferencias entre categorías profesionales, sexo y edad. La formación en estos temas favorecería una atención más integral y de calidad en la asistencia.

          Religion, spirituality, and health: a review and update.

          This article summarizes research prior to 2010 and more recent research on religion, spirituality, and health, including some of the latest work being done by research teams at Columbia University, Harvard University, Duke University, and other academic medical centers. First, terms such as religion, humanism, and spirituality are defined. Second, based on his research team's previous systematic review of quantitative studies published in the peer-reviewed literature prior to 2010, the author discusses the findings from that research on the effects of religion and spirituality (R/S) on (1) mental health-well-being, purpose in life, hope, optimism, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, suicide, and substance abuse; (2) health behaviors-exercise, diet, cigarette smoking, and risky sexual activity; and (3) physical health-coronary artery disease, cancer, and all-cause mortality. Third, the author examines the latest research on the prevalence of spiritual needs among individuals with serious or terminal medical illnesses, the consequences of ignoring those needs, and the results of clinical trials that have examined the effects of spiritual assessments by physicians. Finally, the author reviews the research currently being conducted at Duke University on the efficacy of religious cognitive-behavioral therapies and on the effects of religious involvement on telomere length in stressed caregivers. Resources are provided that will assist seasoned researchers and clinicians who might be interested in doing research in this novel and expanding area of whole-person medicine.

            Measuring Spirituality as a Universal Human Experience: A Review of Spirituality Questionnaires

            Spirituality is an important theme in health research, since a spiritual orientation can help people to cope with the consequences of a serious disease. Knowledge on the role of spirituality is, however, limited, as most research is based on measures of religiosity rather than spirituality. A questionnaire that transcends specific beliefs is a prerequisite for quantifying the importance of spirituality among people who adhere to a religion or none at all. In this review, we discuss ten questionnaires that address spirituality as a universal human experience. Questionnaires are evaluated with regard to psychometric properties, item formulation and confusion with well-being and distress. Although none of the questionnaires fulfilled all the criteria, the multidimensional Spiritual Well-Being Questionnaire is promising.
